The app kept shutting down and I could not start my self guided tour.
I purchased this tour and downloaded the app. Unfortunately, every time I tried to access the tour in the app, the app would crash, so I was unable to access the tour I purchased. I emailed immediately requesting assistance, but have received no response. I am now hoping to receive a refund as I was unable to access the tour.
Very good tour of Bath that also refers to connections with Jane Austin and her books. It is entirely self-paced so you can stop along the way if you want.
It was a lovely way for Austin fans to see Bath. I would really recommend it and the museum was wonderful.
A good flexible tour taking in some of the major sites. You can pause to pop into places along your route and take it all at your own pace.
A wonderful option for those looking to learn more about Jane Austen and Bath in the Regency period. It was great to be able to do it where it suited us.

Booked it through viator app. But Never received the code to download the audio guide. Waste of money

This is a nice introduction to Austen’s Bath - both her own life experiences and the two books that reference it, with lots of humour and fondness from the guides.
